one guy said: "I have ingested a bud and had an unusual and nice high, The trick was to let it sit in my mouth in my cheek and absorb through the mucosal lining. ( similar method to homeopathy). I slowly nibbled on it to let it break down. It was in my mouth for likely a half hour before it was gone. The high snuck up about an hour later and lasted a few hours. It hasn’t always worked that way but that one time it did work well."

That's bullshit. You could literally eat a lb of raw pot and not feel "high" from it.
Cannabis must be decarboxalated to become psychoactive, (goes from THC-A to delta 9 THC when decarboxalated).
Sat in on a panel of cannabis breeders, legends, and doctors at the emerald cup a couple years ago, where they discussed raw cannabis, eating, juicing etc. While there are therapeutic values in consuming ganja raw, getting high is DEF not one of them.
Never mind the very distinct, unpalatable, almost battery acid like taste of fresh, raw cannabis.

Big topic of discussion in medical states, where in some they were charging parents with child endangerment on the false premise that kids could eat some pot, and either get high, die, or both. Was fully and clearly debunked by many Dr's, and science.

I ate a dub of shit mexi schwag on grad night and went full fucking psychedelic or I had a mental break down...

[adamn1t]

Now ive never done this, but ive had friends who say it works

I know when you cook edibles you have to use fats and oils because it binds to them and thats how the body absorbs it.
So... if you have a belly full of fatty/ oily foods it seems reasonable to assume you could catch a buzz just like eating edibles.

Im no chemist so what the fuck do i know

[Chip (OP)]

well, i weighed up 1/2 gr. and nibbled it as it lay under my tongue ... nothing

[Thoms]

Half a gram won't do it chipper. I had to eat a quarter ounce of mexi dirt weed. I don't know how that compares with what you had but I know I was loaded as fuck about three to four hours later. Being fat soluble shouldn't make much of a difference in the stomach, just look at benzos. They are not water solubile but digest and the Chems absorb just fine.

Ps I think it might have to do with the boat load more surface area of the schwag weed (I was only 18 cut me some slack)

DirtyJerzy is right - it HAS to be de-carboxylated first, typically with like 40 minutes of ~150F heat -- it doesn't take a lot, but it takes a little.

After that, do what you want with it, but eating straight colas won't do shit for your head.

Thoms maybe it was all of the wonderful fertilizers, pesticides, and chemicals that went into growing it that gave you that effect. Did it taste like paraquat and glyphosate?

[Thoms]

Malathion actually;) maybe it was my bipolar coming out for the first time with a wicked paranoid anxiety attack. Like I said my brain wasn't to strong back in those days.

thanks brother, I wondered what the right dosage was and cannot afford as much as you suggest, though.

thanks for your input guys !

Chipper please don't waste anymore of your bud by ingesting it this way, you could literally eat an lb and not feel shit but an upset stomach. Did a quick google search to find you a link, and wholly fuck there are a lot of misinformed people out there, passing on a lot of bad info as fact. Probably the same fucktards who had me thinking that subutex didn't block other opiate b/c it didn't have naloxone in it like suboxone does.
 
Best option for ingesting when you have a small amount, like it sounds like you have, or even decent amounts is to make an extract and go from there. Alcohol works great. Check "qwiso" out on youtube.
If your going to eat it I'd let it soak much longer though. 99% isopropyl works great, is cheap, and easy to get. If your pharm. doesn't carry 99% they def carry at least 90%.

When you evap the last bit of water (the remaining 1%, or 10% respectively) do it either in another pan of water(double boiler) or simply on the stove on the lowest possible setting. This last step is crucial if you intend to eat it like that, as decarboxalation converts the THC-A into delta9thc, (the main component in the getting high aspect). If you intend to smoke it you can just let it evap without heat, just a fan blowing over it will do it in under 24 hours. And without heat all the terpenes remain intact and the flavor is amazing, even if you started with not so great stuff. Same goes for if you were going to bake it into something (as the heat there would decarb. it).

I supported my entire family off of cannabis, flowers, extracts, and genetics, for quite
a few years back in nor-cal. And I treated it like my profession b/c it was. Not too much I don't know, or haven't studied EXTENSIVELY, regarding cannabis.
I actually placed in the top 10 in the extract category at the emerald cup (nor-cal's premier ALL ORGANIC breeder/grower competition) the very first year I entered a submission, and beat out people who had been doing this since before I was born. That little accomplishments, and the bong/trophy I received was one of my proudest moments.

Not trying to toot my own horn, just letting you know that I know what I'm talking about in regards to ganja. Like really know what I'm talking about, and eating raw bud is a waste. Well I shouldn't say a waste b/c it's not, but if your simply trying to get high, it is a HUGE waste.

excellent. repped. thanks DJ.

[DirtyJerzy]

No problem chipper, glad I could be of assistance.

If you have any questions regarding cannabis, particularly extracts and edibles as it seems your interested in this ROA, don't hesitate to ask me, seriously.

 Quality extracts, either solvent based or solvent less, are cheap and easy to create. Just please do yourself a favor and stay away from butane (BHO), for a multitude of reasons. But especially because you can make a far superior product, for less $, with alcohol.

Also I'd recommend looking into plant based oils (grape seed, olive oil, etc) and slow and low extractions. I've had salad dressing dressing that knocked my dick in the dirt.

Personally I only mess with the edibles if I have absolutely nothing to do for the next day or 2. The body high just relaxes me so much that I just melt into the couch and become one with the cushions. Sometimes it's 2 days later and I still can't even muster up the energy to do anything. Which is why some people hate edibles.

And one crucial piece of info is start small and work up. Lots of people eat a pot cookie or whatever, don't feel high 30-45 mins later, then eat another. Maybe it's another 30 mins and they don't feel it so they eat another....... And 2 hours later they are in an unpleasantly high state, maybe even on the way to the ER thinking they are having a heart attack.

Edibles effect you MUCH diff. then smoking does, and can take an hour or so to be felt.
Overdo it and you'll swear off edibles for ever. Seriously NOT FUN.

[Chip (OP)]

right. I have romanticised over edibles and you have brought me back to reality, especially when dosing.

I have only once made my own homegrown iso extractions and made a dough butter cookie that resulted in a significant body stone ... it lasted many hours and I enjoyed it.

I do keep thinking about Colorado's edibles ... wish I could visit one day.
